The DGDA (Directorate General of Drug Administration) in Bangladesh regularly inspects pharmacies. If your records are incomplete, you risk fines or license issues. Here’s how software helps you stay ready.
Required Records
-
Purchase Register with supplier invoices and batches.
-
Sales Register with itemized sales.
-
Stock Ledger with opening, inward, and closing balances.
-
Prescription Records for restricted drugs.
Challenges with Manual Records
-
Handwritten registers are prone to errors.
-
Missing invoices cause disputes.
-
Difficult to trace batch recalls.
How Software Makes You Audit-Ready
-
Automatic Registers: Every purchase and sale is logged with batch/expiry.
-
Traceability: If a batch is recalled, you can find which customers bought it.
-
Prescription Storage: Upload or attach prescriptions to invoices.
-
Expiry Reports: Ready to show which items are near expiry or expired.
Real-Life Audit Story
A pharmacy in Uttara faced a DGDA inspection. Instead of scrambling for registers, they printed purchase, sales, and batch reports directly from software. The audit was cleared in half an hour.
Final Word: Audit readiness is peace of mind. With the right software, you don’t just avoid penalties — you also show professionalism that customers respect.
